The
thing tattooed behind my neck is the Yuè lè, a Chinese
ideogram representing music and things related to it. When I decided
about a tattoo, that was the only thing I was sure would have never
disappeared: Music.
I've had severals idols and influencers, but
Lou Reed, Elton John and Lucio Dalla have
really changed and shaped my life, my being, my thoughts and sensibility. And
they've strongly contributed to make my life worthwile.I pretend to play keyboards, guitar
and clarinet. But I get a real kick out of singing. Between 1992 and
1997 I've been the singer and lyricist of Mr Bloom,
a Neapolitan rock band, which has been probably the more significative
and productive experience together with the 'Gianni
on Trial' sessions. Following
you'll find the lyrics I wrote for MrBloom,
Gianni on trial , The
Toilets and Cinico Blues , and some
more recent recordings (Headless).
